Today marks the start of my first week of unemployment after quitting. My boss and I were into each other, but he refused to pursue anything with me while I worked there because it would’ve been unethical. So I quit.

Worth it.

    My ex-employer didn’t “steal” 401k money, but they did violate plan rules and engineer an illegal allotment that put 60% of the plan in a single company that the CEO and his brother had an interest in.

    I ended up getting $5,000 as part of the settlement when got their asses sued to hell for it. They’re still millionaires so it doesn’t matter, but that 5k will be tens or hundreds of thousands by the time I retire, most likely, and it was satisfying to take a chunk out of them.

      How long did it take to get the money? It took us a little over a year to get anything out of the settlement and I heard that was a fast track court case because both ceos admitted to everything in our case.

        I got the notice about the class action, IIRC, about nine months before the settlement went out. I’m not sure how long the actual court case too as I didn’t get a notice until a settlement was reached.
